182 track **** & MX5
So i went to brands hatch yesterday and had an amazing time. Absolutely love the track and it was even better than my first time there. In the morning the track was VERY slippery, i don't think i've seen so many off's in one morning, thankfully nothing written off though.
Which leads me to this...one of those incidents may have been me
The car is fine (although the exhaust did fall off at the end of the day but its fixed now) and the only thing that hurts is my pride I came into surtees a tad to hot for the conditions (about 90mph) had to lift off and got into a huge slide. I managed to catch the slide but the car violently snapped back and spat me off over the grass from surtees to clark curve. My mate who was following behind at the time has the whole thing on video but its only on my FB for now, hes uploading it to youtube later!
I wasn't expecting the cage to make any difference because its only bolt in, but the car was extremely lively at brands yesterday (a lot more than usual) which it has never done before. I can only presume it was because the rear has been stiffened up a tad. It was literally oversteering on every corner when it was wet, i think in future i might need to change the rear ARB settings to soft in the wet. The car felt fantastic in the dry though, so chuckable now its funny, and i don't think i got overtaken all day!
